How to get ATR multiple as an adjustable input filed?

[nwvw28]

I have a SL and TP set to a multiple of the ATR period 14.. I cannot seem to figure out how to adjust these values as an input field. I have to go into Met editor and adjust the code manually. If I try to add the multiple to the constant I get an error because it does not like the * (multiplier). Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

in your constants window, try changing the data type to STRING instead of DOUBLE

Thanks for your response. I just tried it and that did not work. The input is editable but seems to have no effect.

you can't use the * in a constant. You need it to just be a number and then put the * in the block that's using it

@Castlemaine Thank for your response. I tried doing exactly what you have here and I still get the same 'Illegal operation use' errors. I'm pretty sure I matched exactly what you have here. Does it work for you when you try to compile to .ex4? Try that and see if you don't get any errors.

Yeah you're right, not working for me either! Sorry, i'm sure someone else will have the answer!

The * symbols needs to be out of the parenthesis.

@l-andorrà Thank you that is what I needed to do to get it to work.
